Chapter 241
Jinyang felt that this statement made a lot of sense. Since she ascended the throne, she had not yet seriously settled accounts with them, so they thought she was weak and could be bullied.
As long as she had the troops in her hands, she would never be afraid of them.
"If they are willing to stand outside, then they can stand. Tell the Imperial Hospital to be on standby at all times. Don't let them faint again at such an old age."
She doesn't care how history books judge her. When living, one should focus on the present, and what happens afterwards will naturally be left to future generations.
Besides, history books are written by the victors. She was the winner of this battle for the throne, and from then on, the history of Dayan was naturally written by her.
Jinyang ignored them and continued to deal with memorials. However, the news spread quickly, and not long after, a graceful figure appeared in front of her.
"Why are you here?" Jinyang looked up at the graceful and slender woman. He was happy at first, and then he immediately guessed the other party's purpose.
"Are you here to persuade me?"
She almost never called herself lonely in front of Gu Lanxi, and now she said this, it was obvious that she was unhappy.
Gu Lanxi's lips were slightly smiling, very soft, and her features were beautiful and charming. She slowly walked to Jinyang's side, raised her head and put her hands on her shoulders, and said softly: "I just don't want you to be too impatient because of me. Even if it takes a few more years, I can afford to wait."
Even after Jinyang ascended the throne, he began to vigorously use scholars from poor backgrounds and gradually took measures to divide the power held by the aristocratic families.
However, the time was still too short.
Among them, there was dissatisfaction and resentment about Jin Yang's ascension to the throne. They were unwilling to let a woman step on their heads, especially since she greatly improved the status of women after ascending the throne, which threatened them. They secretly colluded and formed various power groups.
If he wasn't afraid of Jinyang's Black Armor Army and Zhenbei Army...
Gu Lanxi believed that as long as Jinyang was given a few more years, he would be able to completely control the government, and then no one would dare to object when the issue of establishing a queen was raised.
"Don't worry, I have already thought about it in my mind. You can wait, but I can't." Jinyang grabbed Gu Lanxi's soft hand and held it in his palm.
Since she ascended the throne, she has lived in the palace most of the time. Only when she has free time can she go to the princess's mansion. Even when she goes to the princess's mansion, she has to be very low-key.
I can only meet Gu Lanxi once in mid-January.
Living alone in the imperial palace, sitting on the high throne, the bedroom was empty and lonely, making her look even more lonely.
She didn't want to live alone in this cold palace. This world was brought to this point hand in hand with her, and she should share this world with her.
Before the two of them said a few more words, a secret guard dressed in black knelt in the middle of the study.
"Your Majesty, this is what I have discovered recently."
"Well, here comes the solution." Jinyang smiled slightly and took the secret letter presented by the other party.
The emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty all had secret guards. Different from the Yulin Guards who walked openly in the court and wore gorgeous armor, they were like ghosts hidden in the darkness, specializing in matters in the dark. Like hunters in the night, they silently searched for various confidential information for the emperor and monitored the ministers in the court.
Jinyang waved his hand, and the secret guard disappeared silently in front of them again. Looking at the contents of the secret letter, Jinyang's eyes were dark and unclear.
That group of ministers were very pedantic and would not give up until they achieved their goal. They did not leave until curfew time, and appeared at the palace gate again the next day.
Jinyang bowed his head, looked at the leader, and said expressionlessly, "I heard that Zhang Qing took a commoner girl as his concubine before, doted on her very much, and even let her child study under the great scholar."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuting broke out in a cold sweat and opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
After all, those who knew the situation knew that he had met the commoner girl when he was out, and he fell in love with her at first sight. So he forced her into his house regardless of the fact that the girl already had an engagement.
Even the man she was previously engaged to met with died a violent death.
Jin Yang ignored him, and moved his sharp eyes to his side, and continued: "It is said that the illegitimate son became a disciple before the eldest son. Lu Qing and Zhang Qing are so close to each other in favor of concubines and killing wives, but they don't know how to persuade them?"
Before Dali Temple Minister Lu Zheng could speak, Jinyang interrupted him again.
"Yesterday I received a memorial impeaching Lu Qing, saying that Lu Qing's brother, who is also the clerk of the Imperial College, found a poor scholar to take the imperial examination for him, and after the success, he wanted to kill him to silence him. The scholar risked his life to report to the government, but after the case was transferred to the Dali Temple, no one cared about it. Is this true?"
"Your Majesty..." Dali Temple Minister Lu Zheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he could only open his mouth and say: "I think it was my negligence."
Anyone who is not a fool can see that he is lying with his eyes open.
Jin Yang nodded and said, "Minister Lu is very busy with official duties, so it is normal for him to neglect it for a while. But now that we know about it, we should do something about it."
"Yes, I will definitely punish you severely." Lu Zheng stammered.
Jin Yang curled his lips, not letting him off so easily, and swept his eyes over everyone: "Now that all the ministers are here, the people involved in this case are the family members of Lord Lu, so they should stay away. I think they will not do anything to defy the law and cover up."
"I will never protect such an evildoer who brings disgrace to our family."
Lu Zheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
If his useless brother said something he shouldn't have said during the interrogation, the entire Lu family would suffer.
He knew that the only way to save his life was to shut him up and sacrifice the enemy.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng said absentmindedly: "I suddenly feel unwell, so I will leave first. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Jinyang's deep and sharp phoenix eyes swept over them, looked at his eyebrows, and said: "In this case, then Lord Lu should have a good rest for a few days. Do you have anything else to report?"
"Your Majesty... has nothing to report."
Everyone spoke up. His Majesty's few words frightened the leaders, Lord Zhang and Lord Lu, so much that they dared not say anything more. The rest of the people were afraid that His Majesty would find out something, so they dared not say anything more.
They also realized that Her Majesty was determined to establish a queen, and whoever stood in her way would be the next to be liquidated.
Didn’t you see that Lord Lu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, even lost his own brother?
The matter of Jinyang establishing the empress was a foregone conclusion, but the royal etiquette was complicated. From the issuance of the imperial edict to the wedding of the emperor and empress, there were many steps and ceremonies to be completed. A series of activities such as worshiping heaven and earth and ancestral temples all needed to be carefully planned and arranged.
Therefore, even if everything goes well, it will take at least a few months to prepare for this grand wedding.
The most important thing is the sewing of the phoenix robe. The production process is very complicated. Even if all the embroiderers in the Internal Affairs Office prepare together, it will take more than a month.
